Ping has revealed it will partner with UPS in this #bagsforbirdies initiative, developing Ping Moxie G junior clubs and other golf gear for the kids, with recipients set to be selected from eight internationals market including North America, UK, Germany, Costa Rica, China, South Africa, Vietnam and Japan.
